✨ Technical Specifications
Casillero del Diablo Leyenda represents the pinnacle of Concha y Toro's legendary line, sourced from the historic clay and gravel soils of Pirque in the Maipo Valley—the very birthplace of the famous devil's cellar legend. According to local folklore, the winery's founder, Don Melchor, spread the rumor that the devil himself guarded his private cellars to deter thieves. This ultra-premium Cabernet Sauvignon pays homage to that tale. Crafted from carefully selected grapes grown on the stony terraces of the Maipo River, the wine undergoes traditional fermentation followed by extensive aging in French oak barrels. The result is a deeply structured, elegant red boasting intense notes of blackcurrant, plum, and subtle graphite, underpinned by refined tannins and a persistent finish that reflects the classic Maipo terroir.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1883 by Don Melchor de Concha y Toro and his wife Emiliana Subercaseaux, Viña Concha y Toro is Chile's preeminent wine producer and a cornerstone of South American winemaking history. Headquartered in Pirque within the historic Maipo Valley, the estate originated with noble French cuttings sourced directly from Bordeaux, laying the groundwork for a portfolio that now spans Chile's finest valleys from Limarí to Peumo. Concha y Toro pairs cutting-edge viticultural science with meticulous stewardship, crafting wines that reflect the diverse microclimates and soils of the Central Valley, Aconcagua, and southern regions. The winery is universally celebrated for benchmark red varietals—most notably expressive Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenère—exemplified in prestige cuvées such as Carmín de Peumo, the Terrunyo series, and the enduring Marques de Casa Concha label.
